G.Skill Ripjaws S5 F5-6000J3636F32GX2-RS5K (64GB 2x32GB Kit/DDR5 6000MHz/CL36 36-36-36-96/1.35V/No RGB Matte Black/Intel XMP 3.0 + AMD EXPO) Review
The G.Skill Ripjaws S5 F5-6000J3636F32GX2-RS5K packs 64GB into low-profile modules rated for DDR5-6000 CL36, certified on both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO for builds that need large air cooler clearance.
64GB builds needing low-profile clearance for large air coolers. Not for RGB-focused builds. Skip if 32GB already covers your workload.
Performance and Timings
At DDR5-6000 CL36 (36-36-36-96), this kit lands at roughly 12.0ns of true first-word latency, a figure worth checking against any kit you're cross-shopping rather than judging by CAS number alone.
Compatibility
Rated timings load via Intel XMP 3.0 + AMD EXPO with a single BIOS toggle; outside that profile the kit boots at JEDEC defaults on any DDR5 platform. Confirm your motherboard's QVL and populate matched slots for dual/quad-channel operation.
Module Count and Rank
Ships as 2 x 32GB modules for a 64GB total; buy the full kit as one matched set rather than pairing separately purchased sticks, since G.Skill does not guarantee cross-kit compatibility.
Design and Build
Matte Black aluminum heat spreader, finished without RGB for a lower profile and simpler build.
Overclocking and BIOS Setup
Select either the Intel XMP 3.0 or AMD EXPO profile to load the CL36 6000MT/s timing.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the G.Skill Ripjaws S5 F5-6000J3636F16GX2-RS5K already in this catalog and the G.Skill Flare X5 F5-6000J3636F32GX2-FX5 already in this catalog, this Ripjaws S5 kit is worth weighing on price-per-GB, rated timings, and whether the extra RGB or premium finish actually matters for your build before paying a premium for either.

Expert rating8 / 10
A 64GB low-profile DDR5-6000 kit that clears even the tallest air coolers, dual-certified for both major platforms.
Best for
- 64GB low-profile builds needing large air coolers with limited DIMM clearance.
- Dual-platform builds wanting a single kit certified for both Intel and AMD.
- Workstation builds that don't need RGB lighting.
Not for
- RGB-focused builds; Ripjaws S5 ships without lighting.
- SFF cases so tight that even a low-profile kit doesn't fit; check clearance first.
- Budget 32GB builds where this 64GB kit is more capacity than needed.
